Reindeer Romp

With days growing shorter and the holiday season just around the corner, it’s time to start getting into the spirit of the season! Beginning Thanksgiving weekend and lasting into the New Year, reindeer will be paying the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens a visit.

A flurry of festivities and holiday entertainment will accompany this popular annual event. Make your own reindeer antlers and join the herd or pay a visit to Santa and friends (weekends only) for a photo opportunity (nominal fee).

All events except the Santa photos are free to GLAZA members and with paid Zoo admission.
